ICS update bricked the prime. it's now hung on the boot screen. where says "eee pad, asus, nvidia tegra"
called asus USA support, first asked to do a data wipe. did that and didn't work. now told to let it sit on the hanging boot screen to completely drain battery. then charge it for 2 hours. the tab will revert to honeycomb. once it boots, then go from there.
anyone know if they are BSing or this will actually revert?

I don't see any way that a power drain will melt the ICS away, that's pure bs. But you can still follow their instructions and be pleasantly surprised if it happens. Which then leads to the question, how about the rest of us, will our ICS update suddenly vanish and revert back to Honeycomb one of these days?

Actually it isnt complete BS. There is a post that follows the battery drain, which is said to work for bricked devices/failed otas. It has worked for a number of people.

Surely, there seems to be a considerable amount of conflict between the ICS and the current crop of Primes out there. Missing serials, bricked tabs, dead gps/wifi, etc. What in the whole wide world is Asus doing for compatiblity between generations/ batches of these units with the latest build of ICS? I can only imagine one tired and overworked programmer staying up in the wee hours trying to finish up an ICS update so Asus can claim to be the first tab with the new OS. Quality, or the lack of it, is a serious issue here, the Prime fans are kept in the dark which makes the situation worse.
Its gonna work
Mine is totally fine but my Neibor did the update with a low battery and his stuck on the boot screen after the update. After the thing totally drained he plugged it in and charged it overnight and it reverted to honeycomb like nothing ever happened when he turned it on.

If it works for the bricked units it should also work for the nonbricks, or is there ai routine that can tell the difference between the two and prevents the fallback to the Honeycomb? This is a very interesting feature of the Prime, reflashing through a power drain process.

Thanks, I'm impressed! That means the boot process performs a check on the update to ensure completeness and accuracy and dumps the garbage if it fails. I believe it now.

It also means the Honeycomb is a permanent resident while ICS updates are tenants that come and go as upgrades become available. So there should be no way to brick a Prime if the Honeycomb is hard coded in rom.

well, if that's true, we learned something new. what prevents working units reset back to honeycomb when battery power runs out? some logical errors are in the theory.
very nice asus could write such feature into the firmware (but not able to write a stable update in the first place, that is if battery < x percent, prompt power, else continue update...)
seems odd.
This isn't going to work, tried it with my first prime. although I hope I'm wrong for the op's sake

how did you know? did asus people told you?
Was it the ICS update (so the GPS fix) or the update to ICS...
Big difference there, if the latter then yeah... can imagine that if the update didn't complete you can do the trick described.

Hey leo221, I think you should give it a try because some people have done it and reverted back to the Honeycomb. You have nothing to lose and if you unbrick your Prime then that would be great! Let us know the results so others will be informed. Thanks.
No but I read on the forums that people were able to recover their devices by lettering the battery drain when there were problems with one of the hc updates. I figured it might work with my issues after the ics update. I let it die, then charged it when I got home from work, still bootlooped.

More details please, why is there a difference? Does Honeycomb disappear altogether when ICS with gps fix is installed?
I think the difference between this and the non-bricked devices is that the OTA update didn't work, so when the battery totally drains it reverts back to the last working setup. May be wrong though. I'm sure it wouldn't work if you were using ICS and it bricked for some reason down the line after a successful OTA update.

Ok, the OP said,
"was the ICS update. when I do the vol down+power hold, it says I'm on US_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117."
so I assume that he will be able to revert back to Honeycomb, hopefully.
---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
Just my own thoughts, it appears the process of updating to ICS opens up a register that allows the flashing of the ICS code into an eeprom device and when competed the register is closed but when the update does not take and the process hangs, the register is left open and the power drain wipes the eeprom. So the tab reverts back to Honeycomb, very similar to an image recovery process in the pc world.
My friend broke his i777 when trying to update to the newest AOKP (he used rom manager) I wasn't home to help him fix it and he accidentally used some vibrant tool to fix it instead of normal Odin.
So it is hard bricked, he got a jig and that's not working either. Any ideas?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
If it is a hard brick and the jig does not work then i think you need to buy a new phone
If it's truely hard bricked, then the only option is jtag recovery. Mobile Tech Videos is a reputable vendor who can do that.
If there is absolutely no sign of life, then that is your only option. If there is any sign of life at all, then you possibly might recover the phone without that.

MTV repaired my captivate when i hard bricked it. Odin hanged on me during a boot-loader revert and it was toast. The guy that does the repair must have some special tools cause you'd never even know my phone had been opened up just by looking at it.
He flashed a vibrant rom with bootloaders?, that's the only way to hard brick a galaxy s2 from what I've read. Did you try connecting to computer and pressing volume up and down to enter in download mode?
Provide more information.
I don't know what vibrant thing he used it could have had boot loaders he doesn't know also yes I tried all those combinations
Also I am looking into JTAG repair now thanks for the help
Edit: are we sure this will work 50$ is allot (although not too much if it works) also where can I find this MTV guy?

Go to mobiletechvideos.com. $50 is worth it and he can fix it. And for whatever reason, they can't get it working , they refund your money. But they're a trusted site. They unbricked my captivate

Before you send it in for jtag repair...
If you havn't tried it already, try putting the phone into download mode by first removing the battery, then holding down Vol+ and vol- (but not power) while you plug in the usb cable connected to your pc. The key here is to have the battery out. If this puts you into download mode, then go to the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries including bootloaders.
Re: jtag. From what I have read, you can trust mobile tech videos. $50.00 is a bit less than replacing the phone. The XDA developer Adam Outler also has done some jtag repair for folks on the captivate, and may also do the sgsII. I havn't heard lately, but some time ago he was a little cheaper than MTV.
Yes Mobile Tech videos will work perfectly for getting it fixed. I have also spoken to him on the phone many of times and he is a really cool person and very knowledgeable. He fixed my cappy back in the day and he got it to work with our sgs2s back when they first came out. Also you may see if he can apply the unbreakable mod for you while he is at it. Makes it darn near impossible to ever brick it again with bad flashes of even wrong/bad boot loaders. And $50 is way cheaper than a new phone or even insurance if you now decide to accident run it over with your car before calling att.

I am wondering if AT&T would go to this level of trouble to determine if a ROM was uploaded to a phone or not to determine whether or not the warranty was voided? My phone froze under normal usage under one of the more popular ROMs. I wrote about it elsewhere so I won't write about it here again.. but it said something about encryption when rebooting and never came back from black.
My only concern is when sending it in under warranty at&t will reject and stick me for replacement bill..

first i am new and dont know a lot about software/android
i used this guide to try to flash the liquid jelly bean
androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-i717-android-4-1-1-liquid-jelly-bean-custom-rom-114126/
since the ROM download link wasnt working i downloaded it from here
android.gs/install-liquidsmooth-custom-rom-on-att-samsung-galaxy-note-i717-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/
in the first link i followed the steps BUT forgot to do a clean/wipe the factory data
now after the flashing completed i hit reboot now and waited 6min than i tried to hold down the power button and nothing. took out battery and try to restart but nothing
how do i go back to either the reflashing or to my old ICS flashed version (using tmobile sim with forced 4g)?
My battery was full and every time i try to plug it to my pc it keeps telling me to format the sd/internal storage.
Pull battery and put back
Hold power and both volume buttons
At Samsung screen, release ONLY power
Keep holding volume, recovery will come up
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache partition
While you're at it, go to Mounts and storage - Format system
Reinstall ROM

The phone is likely bricked ...
The link you used is likely the same one another user tried yesterday.
It's not an I717 rom....it's actually a GS3 rom, and when flashed, instantly bricks the device.
You likely need a JTAG repair on the device, as it is hard bricked with no download mode.
Very sorry, it's a bad deal...but users "must" verify rom sources before flashing...
The link you used has bricked your device....g
Someone needs to report to the writer that they're referring people to an incorrect ROM. Granted its not their fault but damn. People do whatever the internet tells them to and we already have enough "bricked" threads.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
so just one thing
should i try the usb download mode dongle thing first or try the JTAG service and are which ones on AMAZON are compatible with att note
Concerning this issue, there is room for improvement by devs and users both.
I have to say many of the liquid items are not organized well. After so many issues due to this you would think at some point they would be cleaned up. Also while I agree folks should confirm they have the correct rom,files,etc before flashing, it takes verry little to add safeguards to a rom making it device specific so it will not flash to an unintended device.
Just my two pennies.

Well.. the replacement i got, all i have done is install moon reader and dropbox and a few other apps (i actually like the amazon OS once i can sideload things and get dropbox on it) And standby is 3 days.. i came in to work today it was at 4%.. so its better than my last one. but still same monster light bleed and stuff.. no big thing i don't use this much. My old nexus 10 is still the best i have used. and front speakers. mmmmm
weird..on standby mine lasts a lot longer than that
I received the update through Nougat via LG bride. It was working well for about an hour and a half. Then it shut off. Went into the LG Bootup screen and never turned on again. Can't access recovery. Can't do anything. Basically a paperweight now. IDK what to do. I know the LG V10 has been known for boot loop and bricking issues, but it especially saddening when your phone isn't even covered under warranty anymore, don't have the money for a new flagship, and literally getting nougat after months of waiting because of stupid LG. Any suggestions on what I should do? Anything would be appreciated. :crying:

seems your update was successful, were you doing lots of heavy usage before it died? put in the freezer for 15-20 min to check if it is indeed hardware failure.if it boots and works for a while, then its hardware failure.This is just what i recommend trying, since it seems you haven't been tampering with anything and it suddenly shut off. do it at your own risk though.if it is hardware, call lg and tell them.i dont know i they will still honor it now but my device bootlooped and was 5 months over warranty period but they still said they would fix it for free.
I think they are fixing now for 2 years. Can't hurt to give it a shot.

So I used their website to request a repair and they gave me a shipping label with instructions. Does that mean it's free of charge? If not when do they tell me the price and when to pay them.

You may have to pay to ship it to them, if it wasn't a free shipping label. That is what they do when the device is technically out of warranty. If there is any other charge they will email you before any work is done, and you provide some sort of payment. Then they ship it back.
Since this is a heavily covered issue, they will probably replace the main board the day they get it and send it the same day back to you free of charge. That is what I've seen in multiple threads for the V10.
I kind of wish my V10 would bootloop so I could get LG to replace my board....I feel mine is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.

So they will for sure do it free of charge? Because i got emailed with the shipping label and instructions, but no word back yet on my comment I made on the LG website and if they will charge me or not. Should they notify me that I will be getting charged before I send the device in? Or should I call customer service and make sure that they don't charge me.
LG fixed my V10 AND my G4 free of charge after both units bootlooped. They'll let you know via email.
They will fix it and send it back to you free of charge. My V10 was out of warranty too and they still fixed it... Does not matter when you bought it, they will cover it. My phone died 2 weeks ago sent it immediately. Takes 2 weeks for them to swap out the motherboard and send it back. They have a fedex customer signature required obligation which delayed my shipment by 2 days since i was at work... I am still waiting for the Nougat update though.
Not the case, while most of the time it is free and they will let you know upfront. Some people have recieved their repaired devices along with the service fee bill.
Nougat garbage

I at least had the use of my phone 4 a while before and acted up after that update 2 h901 30 C but I honestly never did really like nougat but as long as it was working I was okay. All of a sudden my phone restarted itself while I had it sitting on the charger and never booted all the way back up! When I try to do a factory reset that doesn't work it just stays on that screen and then before I even tried to do the factory reset this green screen came up that look like some type of system screen with real tiny black writing that I could barely see. But it's been a nightmare ever since and like you said not being under warranty is a real drag! I don't know why these idiots make these updates that they try to keep Developers from rooting and being able to make changes to in the first place! People should be able to do whatever they want to do with their phones and devices! I was able to flash the h 90130 c k deezy through LG up program but after about an hour if that the phone acts up again. So yes I truly truly feel your pain! So I'm looking for some help as well.

I no this is an Old Post but I'm just reading it because I just started having some of the problems listed above out the blue. I actually do not like the nougat update! It made a few things that were once easy more complicated and took more time and it clicks to get to where I wanted to be for simple stuff like changing the display off timer and having to pull down a second screen to get the stuff. Also now my phone has acted up since that h901 30 C update. So I'm beyond pissed all the way around.
